    I’m just saying cos Golovkin has had a
    couple of competitive fights all of a sudden he’s a hype job who’s been exposed. Golovkin hasn’t been getting his due. He won both fights comfortably IMO against top tier fighters.

    I thought Alvarez was actually going to win and I was actually surprised Golovkin maintained that pace for 12 rounds at his age.

    Alvarez did well in spots but then he’d take the rest of the round off. 8-4 was about right. 7-5 acceptable.

    Golovkin isn't exactly any old 35 year old boxer ... no shame in how Canelo fought, I think he did pretty well actually. He was competitive and had some good periods where he looked truly world class. Which he is. I think he hasa real shot of winning the rematch, although I favour GGG.

    Even HBO failed to produce a video that showcased Triple L's highlights.

    The video you would say is biased but what are you going to show. A man ineffectively landing shots but threw more. If they highlight G's jabs, it exposes G even more because they weren't real scoring jabs. Find me a montage of G's beautiful, effective jab work and I'll eat my words. I will literally write this down on a piece of paper and eat them lmao

    They were abysmal like his power. Were seriously going to play charades about what really went down people. Again. Kov, Roman, Manny and now G. How are you guys not catching on to this yet.

    If Canelo had been 35 and GGG 27 does anyone think Alvarez would have stayed upright?

    Probably an easy win for Canelo.

    I doubt the likes of Makarov, Carvalho and Greenidge would have been enough to prepare GGG for the by then super-experienced Canelo.

    Ive always been the same I like to see the best man on the night rightfully getting the win. Canelo put up a good fight but GGG won that fight. Neither Mayweather nor Ward could survive without cheating. Canelo has earned my respect those other two have not
